I'd like to hear your take on cannabis, both the industrial version and the type that alters your consciousness when smoked. Why do you feel this substance is illegal in America?

Don't forget about psychedelics like LSD or Mescaline and empathogenics like MDMA or 4-Fluo. Both expand your consciousness and are very promising from a psycho-therapeutic point of view. For example, psychedelics can be used to treat anxiety or depression, whereas empathogenics can be used to give people within the Autism spectrum a sense of empathy, which seriously increases their communication skills and their self-confidence.
